HAND MADE
Global’s sleek, razor-sharp cutlery is an excellent choice for professional chefs and discerning home cooks alike. The broad blade of this nakiri knife enables you to slice everything from melons to squash with ease. Hollow edge features scallops (called “kullens”), which keep food from sticking to the blade. Plus, the double-beveled edge accommodates both right- and left-handed users.

Global’s award-winning knives are made to the exacting standards of professional Japanese chefs. To deliver perfect balance, Global manufactures hollow handles, then fills each one just enough to achieve the desired weight.

I wanted to try this knife with the dimples because thinly sliced vegs do stick to the side of the blade of my other Global vegetable knife. The description for this knife says the dimples prevent sticking.

The Global Chef knives are very well known for their balance; their ability to keep an edge and stay very, very sharp; and to remain germ and rust free. This is a great price for a knife that will last me the rest of my life.

BEST ANSWER:Seamless construction and flawless design are the hallmarks of Global knives. Made of molybdenum-vanadium steel, ice-tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58, Global cutlery is famous for having incredibly sharp blades with superior edge retention and rust, stain and corrosion resistance. Hollow, ground edges reduce drag and sticking. Handles are manufactured hollow, then filled with just enough steel for perfect balance. Asian-style vegetable knives are great for slicing and chopping. Hand wash and dry.This is only for the 5 1/2"" Nakiri knife (the smaller one in the picture)

BEST ANSWER:We live in Hawaii and don't get much of the winter squashes. However, this knife works very well on pineapple and watermelon. As far as we know the outside of a pineapple is quite tough and this Global knife cuts through with ease. This knife is balanced well and easy to maneuver; does a great job in cutting out the eyes on the inside of the pineapple too. Having a knife made entirely of metal makes it extremely easy to clean compared to a knife with a different material handle.

Sorry, I haven't tried it on squash yet. I have the Anniversary knife 5"and the Sant version 5" currently $59.00 and this my third. The Global handles have a great feel. And this is the a good size for your squash. And an excellent price, since their knives are regularly way over $100. This price can't last too long.

How well and how easily does the knife cut through the hard skin of winter squashes such as butternut and Hubbard?

BEST ANSWER:I love my Global knife and it works beautifully. I would suggest that if you don't already have one, you get a good knife sharpener and keep the knife sharpened and also keep it cleaned and covered. Don't ever put it in the dishwasher and dry it as soon as it is washed. It should last you a long time.

Cutting hard squashes is difficult. Knife size may matter for larger squashes. This knife should be adequate, but may require a sharp blow to the spine to cut through the skin and hard squash. This is one of my favorite all-purpose knives
